Glad your happy Dave, I know that Darren and Liam were very pleased with the outcome of your car after it had been set up. With regard to the boost return to air, we are able to taylor the extent to how audible the 'blow off' is now. For the likes of Firkin who want pimp their 'raddo hard and for the entire population of Brighton to know when he has just backed off the throttle we leave the boost return valve dumping directly to atmoshere :lol: :lol: . For the likes of Dave, who is a more discreat pimp we are able to fit a length of silicone with a gauze muffler, the noise is still audible, but only to the degree that it is very subtle. Take ya pick, are you intovert or extrovert! quiet or loud!

Ye, we have a few Mini Eatons knocking about the unit now for a couple of different projects, one being a flowed one to go on our Cooper 's', the only thing being is that unlike a Corrado half the engine has to come out to change the Charger. When we have a have finished the x-flow project we will be looking at making the bracketry to fit and plumb in a eaton to a G60. As yet we can only speculate the performance charicteristics of fitting one. They shift more CFM per revloution at low RPM compared to a G, don't think they are quite as efficent top end as a G-lader and they have more crank drag than a G-lader. The usual case of fit it and see wagone. This is a pic of a Eaton we are helping to fit to a Zetec engine of all things for a lad who we know. LOL

Not too bad a conversion. Needs a G40-G60 mounting plate (£100), g60 blower, Red top injectors. revised map in the ECU, graft in a 3bar map sensor to the ECU, longer charger drive belt, revised charger RS outlet to link to the intercooler. That is the bear essentials to get the thing up and running athough other mods are really needed such as a bigger intercooler etc to maximise gains. Got another G60'ed G40 coming out the stable soon.. this one with more refinement and power if all goes to plan... plus it will be mine :lol: :lol: .. bonus, a quick car I will not have to give back to a customer after making tuning it. LOL

I won't be hanging about to answer any questions.. Will be datalogging my little ass outta the way of any curious 'officails' who show interest in our testing sessions.

We will carry out extensive tests on our 2 million quid engine dyno rig until it is fine tuned........ ..lol, we wish, ..alternatively it will get dropped into appropiate Corrado and raped up and down the A259 by Darren, myself and Liam until we are happy with it... Cannot wait for that day!!!!!

The beast is being fettled with day by day. Me and Darren are off to the scrappie tomorrow to find doner parts to hack up rather than paying VAG dealer prices for new kit to hack up (all in the name of development) for the latest stage of the project. The aim is to make the engine mods accesable to al wallets. We will offer the finished item in packages. a) X-flow head kit to bolt onto your stock PG/1w bottom end. b) as above but flowed. c) as above but with rebuilt stock bottom end d) x-flow head kit 'Gucci', large CC overbored, forged piston'ed Jobbie. e) as 'd' but will added as yet undisclosed 'blend of g-werks/pitstop' trickery :lol: f) as all of the above with added garlic narn and a free flamer kit just so you can impress the local kevins to demonstrate them how much Gee Gee you have.

A corrado with a blow charger should really have the head taken off to remove all debris from the 'Ashes' of the dead unit to prevent the bores being scored, there goes another couple of hundred quid!

LOL.. no.. a chap called Heinrich. Ye, the Germans are the most hospitable people.

LOL.. Not unless Jabba are just outside Stuttgart in south Germany. Myself and Liam were shown how to service a charger by a ex 'Jung' (original development/development company) engineer, who is now a good friend, a few years back. Yet again another example of the VW scene 'chineese whisper'. We are based in Littlehampton on the south coast.

Make sure everything is earthed out there too.

Check your idel microswitch in the TB is disengadging. Just unplug the throttle wiring harness to see if this changes anything. Just a shot in the dark. Experinced a car once with a sticking switch that just stalled as soon as the engine was reved over 2k or had any torque, micro swich was dead.

Yep, the Police are not fond of flames. My black G40 spits them in between gear changes at high RPM as the WOT does not cut quick fuel enough. I was informed of this first time a couple of years back when I chased a british racing green Impreza turbo estate out of the slip road St. Michels wood services on the M5, I was very pleased to be keeping up with Mr Impreza. Little did I know that I was also been followed by another British racing green Impreza. There was then an aray of flashing lights, I was then aware of the fact i'd been persuing and had been pursued, sandwiched between two unmarked police cars. The coppers immidiatly started looking for a flamer kit on my car as it was chucking flames out of the back in between gear changes. They were more curious to why a polo was keeping the pace of their car. I offered an explination of having a failing lamba probe which was causing the car to run rich, hence the flames and that I would sort it the following week. I enjoy the 'Q' factor of my cars and it all really goes to pot when you have flames poping out of the rear. Plus the fact that it blows the baffles in the silencers to pieces making for aloud exhaust which again does nothing for the 'Q; factor. I pass up challenges by 1.1's for fear their handling and brakes are not quite up to the same standard and can do without a incident of a itallian shoping trolly planting into the back of me as they attempt out brake you on the 115/90 10' tiny footprint as they have not the power to overtake you.

LOL...i'll take you a pic of one of ours that has been Bling up it's sitting on the shelf blinding me. We releasing them in the new Pitstop/g-werks spring /summer 'Red label bling jewlery collection catalog. Limited edition. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mr cross flow is offering ourselfs a lot of 'food for thought', ohh and running about sourcing components to execute a idea when one of us gets a brain wave (occsionallly it happens :D ) to an improvement we can make to it. The bottom end will be allready to rock and roll in 3 weeks when the Forged pistons arrive on our door. We have just invested in a second, smaller unit solely for the use of building engines out of the car. The idea is to keep that section quarentined so that nothing is contaminated and all engine bits can be stored in one place. Once we have the rough schematics, prototype brackets/manifolds etc we will drop the engine in a car. A little way off yet with the complete x-flow set up, but at least the bottom ends are iminent.. :D :D

If only hammers and screwdrivers could create the monster. Everyone who has been in the unit over the last couple of weeks thinks that myself, Darren and Liam are a little messed up as we are always congregated around the sacred engine stand offering it gifts. With our combined IQ of five (4 of that being Darrens dog) we are getting there between us. Last night we were creating mock up inlet plenums, 'Blue Peter' stylee, out of cereal boxes and stickey tape. Sounds a little antiquated I know but the only real way to mock up designs and see how it all offers up, what fits in relation to what, or what does'nt more to the point. We have got our heads around how its all going to come together now. The second part is really tayloring these designs for components so that they are efficent rather than just a means of fitting it all together. We are trying to improve the engine from all aspects rather than just sticking the head on and off we go. Above is the new G-werks/Pitstop Design consultant. He has a doctorate in 'Mass air velocity' and HND in 'brummy hammers' :lol:

We will tell you when we have finished with the angle grinder and lump hammer :lol: :lol: Will not come to that, we have been sizing things up this evening and there are plently of options to mount the alternator with only minor mods.

Nah.....the lump hammer is for precision jobs!! :lol:

Anything grafts to anything with a little TLC LOL.... Ohh and angle grinder. Stu showed me the intercooler for the mutent, I said 'How you going to fit that!!!!?!?' . He replyed 'Whith the help of my friend the angle barry angle grinder!', 3hrs later it was on. The snow plough.

Ye..we have a couple of people on our forum with MK1 golf G40's.

Jah ... use mkII golf 1.3 engine mounts and it pretty much drops in.LoL... Embarrased my friends WRX a few years back with 150BHP in my g40 then. Sat on his tail while his turbo spooled up... He would pull a couple of car lengths on me... then his speed limiter kicked in at 115mph and I sat by him and teased him. He had a distinct advantage over getting around corners quicker though.LOL

Power at wheels was 192Bhp

Ohh...and this Video, my friend following me following a bimmer M5..... the entertainment is in Marshall's crazy laugh LOL http://www.pitstopdevelopments.co.uk/vid/chipping%20after%20M5.mpg

Video of that car http://www.pitstopdevelopments.co.uk/vid/baxter_1.mpg

Ye.. the best analogy of being in that car... hmm lets see... Well.. like a Rodeio rider trying to keep on the back of his horse while it buckerroos about. Passes our Cooper 'S' like somones nicked the charger off it.
